Stretching

Very true, if your trichs aren't milking up that could be genetic; that's why I asked about genetic source because that can happen with bammer. And feeding because starving athletes can't perform well, hence gatorade @cool09

Could try some, if any kick, then shorter to finish than starting over.

usually 60 watts per square meter is recommended for good yields

Proper lighting is based on lumens not watts. (Recommended is 1000-3000 lumens per sq ft.)

Not sure what this means. I don't speak the lingo.

(When I said "stretching" I also meant long internode lengths.)

As I said, for my other grows the lighting was too far away. During present grow the lighting was too far away during veg and most of flowering (Feb/March) then I learned how to get HPS closer about 5 wks ago (buds were already formed then). I've never had a grow where triches turned partly amber or milky which confuses me.

On previous grows I used lousy commercial nutrients. This grow I've used Foxfarm (plus some MicroBrew) from the start and Foxfarm potting mix added to black soil, manure, dolomite lime, perlite, sand in 3-4 gallon pots. Flower Lighting is not from the very top but slightly above the top and angled down @ 45-60 deg. (from opposite sides) due to low ceilings. (Veg. lighting was from the top and probably not enough light.) pH has been good throughout (6.3-6.7) and I've raised it once or twice with dolomite lime and flushed the plants once during stagnant growth (and yellowing of an AK plant) during flowering. Water is distilled and good ventilation. I get all feminized seeds from Attitude.

Pictured is white widow (open in new tab for better detail) w/haze in background (top fan leaves have yellowed and buds still growing). Thanks for feedback.

Sorry,I sometimes think my attempts to be brief, makes things hard to understand. Then there's always my grammar. Basically meant with golf ball sized buds and 3+ months, spark a bowl before you trash it.

Sorry if I seemed facetious.

I have tested some and no stone. Just wanted to know if this is kind of common or not (and if I had any options). And not sure if plants/branches look normal or not.

Only stone I ever got was from 2 skunks (in a closet) after 8-9 weeks of flowering or so.

My next grow is definitely going to be all indica (skunk, NL) which I read is easier to grow.

looks like weak light
